Jorrit De Waele

  • Research Expertise:My research is positioned in the domain of tumor immunology and immunotherapy in solid and hematological tumors. It focusses on unraveling mechanism in the tumor microenviroment (incl. hypoxia, metabolism, checkpoints) that suppress immune cells as well as both combination and cellular therapy to overcome this suppression. In particular, I have an interest in natural killer cell, which extend to its fucntioning in patho-/physiological contexts.
